Is something wrong with this board?

[Ash]

I've noticed that I'll read a post and after it's read the text turns from green to grey like it should to indicate that I read it.

Not anymore...
Threads that I have read are green again with the "new" in yellow next to it.

I'll read every single post in a thread and they should all be grey but all I have to do is simply refresh the page and they're all back to green again.

What's the deal?

Is anyone else having this problem?

Are you talking about individual replies in the threaded view, or the message titles on the topic listing?

I use flat view where it shows me all the replies as one long page, and it seems to be working the same as it always has. New threads that I've never seen before are listed in green with "new" next to them and threads I've seen, but which have new replies are in gray with "new" after them.

Not the text that people write in their posts....(the white text)

I'm referring to the text that shows all the threads when you first enter the phorum.

For example...I wrote the thread asking who all here smokes.
I read every single post.

When I came back it showed them all as being unread.

I also use the regular view and not the flat view.

Ok. That seems to be working ok for me. They were all green when I first came here to the new server, but it turns out that I wasn't logged in automatically. Once I logged in, the green/grey status of all the messages was restored. BTW, I'm using IE 5.01.

>I also use the regular view and not the flat view.

Maybe the threaded/flat views work differently. I find the threaded view too much work, having to load each individual reply.

s**t!

It even did it on this thread!

I read your last post JohnL and then when I refreshed the page it showed it as unread....even though I just read it minutes ago!

WTF is going on?

I'll bet it has something to do with Andrew moving the server.

Something got reset and wasn't changed back to the way it was before.

yeah i had the same problem with the posts i had seen a few days ago, but it seems to have righted itself now.

you're right, it's probably to do with the servers changing, and the histories have been reset.

I hope not.  I did run into a weird thing like what you had.  Just needed to update my bookmark.  The old one was for "badmovies.org/bbs/" and the new is "www.badmovies.org/bbs/" - it seems that either the browser or the cookie decided that meant it was a different board.

Let me know if you have any problems.

I'm not.

I think I might have found what was causing Ashthecat's problem.  After posting (or replying) to a message, you were sent to badmovies.org vice www.badmovies.org.  I fixed that in the config.

Hope that clears it up and sorry for the goof.

[gammaray117]

Yeah, I noticed that. Kudos, Andrew. Have you recieved my E-Mail?

[Perk]

I'm having troubles too.  For some reason the ones I've read are gray and are still marked new.  So everytime I come to the board mos of the first page is marked new and it's quite confusing.  :<

[JohnL]

It was working fine for me, but now most of the messages I've already read and back to green. Not all of them, but most. I'll have to see if it remembers them this time. (haven't been here in a couple days)

[ErikJ]

It does the same thing to me.
It's begining to drive me a little crazy

[Andrew]

I hope this is just a result of the move and me recently changing that configuration on the board.  Let me know if it keeps up.  Also, please make sure (if you are using a favorite or shortcut on your browser) that it points to www.badmovies.org/bbs/

I tested it from a few machines and had a friend online do the same.  It appears to be working correctly. Hopefully everything is good now.   The change was probably caused by me tweaking the configuration on the 27th.

Ok, new problem; All the messages I read this morning are now grey, but they still have "New" after them.

It seemed to be working ok this morning, removing the new marker after I'd read them (and after it reloaded the page), but now they're all back.
